A computer which can't show the time right is pretty bad IMHO.

Yes of course, replacing /etc/localtime (and a few of the same under
/usr/share/zoneinfo to be safe) with the file from SUSE (or any
other distro which does publish an update) is trivial, but bypassing the
packaging system comes at the expense of the obvious drawbacks.
Hence a new package would be the better solution, but if there isn't one,
the manual fix is the right one.

I realise 3.1 is (obviously) no longer supported, but an upgrade to 4 is out
of the question. One has to stabilise at some point.

Thanks everyone,

Volker
